it was a whale of an experience (seriously), yesterday and today...
spent a total of 30 hours at dover ITE and about 14 hours seated next to a sound engineer/co-ordinator of the open house they had that lasted the weekend.
thanks dear, for having allowed me tag/probe like i did whilst you busied yourself... :p
met many many new/old people (?)...
learned quite a great deal of stuff like how you can have instant remixes by playing with the many many knobs on the console and was pretty amused by the *god mike* and the other terms they have for certain things...

we got to see muscle men (REAL muscle men.)
live bands (most of them have potential... they just need to start writing originals!)
many hip hop/r&b uhh dances and stuff
a skit that taught us what ITE is all about (at least i THINK that was what they were TRYING to convey... o.O )

it was super tedious spending so many hours straining ears/eyes everytime a performance was due though, for it was fcuking HOT (and i mean BOILING HOT) yesterday and early noon today, before it started to pour.
and pour.
and pour and pour and pour
and pour......
so, i used up 12 packets (and counting) of tissue paper in 2 days.
is that like a record or what :p

my nose needs a plumber.
and my throat needs a good scratch (or rather, scrub...)
any good and cheap plumbers/toilet washers to recommend?
or you got the 2 in 1 package ?

had been busy busy busy the past few days...
but term breaks today and then it's a week's worth of holidays
not like it's going to make any difference anyway.
with all the holiday work and field trips to do and attend...
(field trips = MORE projects)
but 2d's been rrrreal fun
if i had to make a choice right now, i'd pick 2d over the media art and 3d modules.

wise or unwise?
you tell me.

is it possible for a person to be totally unaware of his own wrong/misjudged doings?
as in he continues making the same mistakes over and over and over again...
still unaware that he's always been in the wrong, and then he misunderstands everyone else's intentions.
thinking everyone else is the bad person and everybody is just picking on him intentionally.
thus making him hate everybody and himself...
is it possible, or are the supposed wrong-doings already part of that particular person
integrated into him and his head tells him that it's actually OKAY to be thinking/doing certain things when it is not.
and perhaps he realises it.
just not enough within himself to do something about anything at all.


i feel bad, really.
for having being the mean/classic tattletaling younger sister.
but what else could i have done
to make him stop

when authority was clearly not mine?



remember to breathe

angsty. angsty. angsty.


have i grown up?

yes, today had proven to be yet another fucked up day in this fucked up world.


i don't wanna talk about it.

here's how we've progressed... the whole thing should be completed by the 4th hour at site next monday.







yup it's true.
sadako crawls outta ceilings.

everyday, i keep reminding myself not to be selfish...

loneliness had been non-existence once upon a time...

i thought i could do an update with pictures taken in thailand today since my scanner's already hooked up to the computer and all
but NO... there just had to be some script error in the software installed, resulting in abortion of software.
i'll probably be buying the recovery cd from compaq next week, transfer files to brothers' computer and do a thorough reformat on mine.

been awfully and horribly busy with school the past week/s... we just started on our last 2d proj of the term on monday... wall mural at geylang methodist primary school.
the first wall we were assigned to was actually 3x4m...
so we threw on a coat of background paint and then splashes of other colours before stopping for lunch and that was when the lecturer suggested we change walls because the previous one was "too isolated and there wouldn't be enough room for proper art appreciation"
lol whatever that meant...
anyway we complied and the 6 of us moved to a 3.5x7.1m wall.
that was just pure madness because the largest group of 9 has a wall only 1/3 of ours...
but we managed to finish the background after 8 hours of being on-site
and realised it wasn't that tough after all because it sure beats being at school doing abstract still-life paintings :p

okay below's a nice over-exposed shot of the incomplete wall...

...and over-hyped people who had spent far too much time in one day 'communicating' with Wall :p

will continue the update in future with (hopefully) more pictures

each night i walk the stretch of road leading to my flat from the mrt station... when the sky is clear the 2 things i'd look out for are the moon and orion's belt just because the latter holds a special meaning... and connection... :p

if it was possible could one die from being immensely overwhelmed by the beauty of terrific nature, the nature that was not built by hand nor hands
but could only be appreciated or manipulated consumed wasted and destroyed......

okay i shall cut the crap lol...

anyway tonight the clouds were waves of maroonish brown and there were 4 different shades of light (yes i counted) being emitted from the super duper full moon plus the so very bright shining stars
for that very moment when i was standing smacked in the middle of nowhere head tilted towards the sky eyes trying to take in everything that could be taken in
i thought i would die right there and then...



and i thought it was so, so, so, beautiful
words really could not describe



or i may just be suffering from mild dementation

because whatever i say won't be appreciated anyway
so there is no point

sometimes i wonder if you actually listen to me at all
and if all of this is just a facade
nothing good lasts forever
and everybody knows.

this time it's for real

I AM BACK ONLINEEEEEEEE

finally got windows properly installed and files intact!
only headache now is finding sites to download drivers
already installed every single file they have to offer at compaq's support webby...
only drivers missing now are audio's and cdrw's.
no sound until then!

has anybody got any idea where to download legacy audio drivers?
and a cyberdrv cw088d driver as well
o.O


anyway i was out with him the whole of yesteday (technically)
and we caught plainsunset's last gig...
the epilogue (sigh!)
he bought us both tickets for our 3rd month anniversary :p
yeah anyway like all of the other shows they've had...
it was easy to get the crowd started and going until the end of the gig
will probably have a small tribute article/review with pictures up on purerock by the end of next week...

as for now it's about time for bed
